2.2 We recommend that you purchase full update services for WordPress at least twice a year, and that your site undergoes regular security updates on a consistent, monthly basis in order to ensure compatibility and a higher level of security.

Security updates are different from full updates. For example, going from version 4.5 to 4.5.1 is a security update, while going from version 4.5 to 4.6 is a full update. Only security updates are included in the Basic and Pro Web Maintenance Packages.

During full updates (as provided in the Premium Web Maintenance and Complete packages), Bryant Digital Media safely updates WordPress and its plug-ins by cloning Client’s site to a test server. If problems occur while updating the “cloned” site, we will recommend the best course of action.

2.3 It is not possible to anticipate how threats will evolve, what aspects of WordPress hackers will attempt to exploit, or how the WordPress Open Source Community will address vulnerabilities in future releases. Keeping WordPress updated with its most recent version may offer greater security from hackers, but new software releases may contain undocumented problems and/or incompatibility issues with existing plug-ins.

In the event an upgrade affects the functionality of a plug-in core to the site’s operation, a new plug-in would need to be researched and implemented. The added security of updated versions should be weighed against the expense of implementing new plug-ins.

2.4 Client may incur additional costs for unforeseen events

Expenses for unforeseen events will be explained, and Client must approve any additional work and its related costs before work is completed.

By authorizing this purchase, Client confirms an understanding of the risks and the potential for additional charges. Such charges will be quoted in advance at $140 per hour (billed in 15-minute increments), and will be approved by Client.

2.5 Client agrees that Bryant Digital Media is not responsible for hacking.

Client agrees to hold Bryant Digital Media harmless for any loss of revenue, reputation, or any other form of damage resulting from Website performance problems including but not limited to site crashes, unloadable pages, server error messages, server downtime, offensive material posted to site due to hacking, and offensive site redirects due to hacking. In other words, any unanticipated or unintended Website behavior due to hacking or other malicious behavior (including the behavior of site members) that could be damaging will not be held against Bryant Digital Media.

Bryant Digital Media provides no guarantee the site will function properly 100 percent of the time. Bryant Digital Media provides no guarantee against hackers. Even the federal government and large banks with the highest levels of security experience hacks. The security of Client’s site is ultimately the responsibility of Client’s Web hosting service.

2.6 Client agrees and understands:

· If Client’s Website is hacked and the exploit poses a danger to the hosting service, it is within the hosting service’s authority to immediately suspend Client’s Website from service without prior notice.

· Bryant Digital Media will make a one-time backup of the WordPress-related aspects of the site and furnish this backup as a separate zip file compatible only with the backup system architecture. In the event of hacking, the file might need to be used to reset Website to its original form.

· Backups may overwrite entire site domain, including any email stored on server.

· Client is responsible for the security and control of all information stored in databases and files hosted with Website. Bryant Digital Media will not be held liable for the theft and/or misuse of such information.

2.7 Bryant Digital Media requests a minimum of four days to complete content updates (multimedia content updates may require more time), and a minimum of one business day to respond to requests for technical support. We are unable to provide emergency response services for any reason.
